After finishing breakfast, while Shiranui actively helped clean up the dishes, Yukikaze and Akiyama Rinko returned to their rooms to change clothes. Soon afterward, the group left the Mizuki Estate together.
"Shiranui, are we going to the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base next? Where is it?"
Walking beside the bustling street, Yukito couldn't help but look at Shiranui Mizuki, who was dressed in an office lady uniform and looked every bit the urban professional. He asked curiously.
Although he had roughly understood some of the circumstances of this world ever since he first transmigrated and met Shiranui Mizuki, learning about the existence of Anti-Demon Ninjas, demons, and yokai...
Over the years, Yukito had rarely had the chance to encounter those extraordinary beings lurking in the shadows.
As a result, even after successfully activating and binding the system more than a year ago, his attempts to secretly go out at night and search for demons around Tokyo to gain experience points had produced very few results. At most, he would find isolated demons that were neither particularly strong nor capable of causing much harm.
The main reason he had managed to raise his level to Elite Chunin rank in just over a year was due to the system's randomly assigned missions and his own diligent training.
Yukito genuinely didn't know where the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base was located, nor did he know whether they or other supernatural factions were secretly eliminating demons and protecting the city.
"The Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base is here in Tokyo, although there's also a major one in Kyoto."
"The Tokyo headquarters is located in Shinjuku Ward, so we'll just take the train there."
The location of the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base was an absolute secret that couldn't be casually revealed to outsiders. However, considering Yukito's relationship with them, and since they were already planning to bring him to meet Asagi, Shiranui Mizuki had no intention of hiding it.
Following behind Shiranui, Sister Rinko, and Yukikaze, Yukito first waited at the station nearest to the Mizuki Estate before boarding a train bound for the neighboring Shinjuku Ward.
As one of Tokyo's most prosperous central districts, Shinjuku was filled with towering skyscrapers, while its streets bustled with an endless stream of people.
Even late at night, the area remained brightly illuminated and lively.
The fact that the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base was located in such a place surprised and puzzled Yukito.
Based on his observations of classmates in daily life, especially at school, as well as information he had found online, ordinary people seemed completely unaware of the existence of demons and Anti-Demon Ninjas.
If the authorities and the various factions of the supernatural world intended to keep these matters hidden from the public, shouldn't the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base be located somewhere remote and unknown?
"Yukito-chan, come with me. It's difficult to find the place without someone guiding you."
After arriving in Shinjuku Ward and leaving the station, Shiranui led Yukito several hundred meters down the street, through two intersections, and finally to a small dessert shop tucked between tall buildings. Without careful observation, it would have been easy to overlook.
Pushing open the door, Yukito casually glanced around the interior.
The shop wasn't very large, containing only five or six small tables. The decor looked somewhat old-fashioned, and there were no customers inside.
Standing behind the counter was a middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her forties. Crow's feet were visible around her eyes, yet she still possessed delicate features. Through his Sharingan, Yukito could sense energy fluctuations similar to those of Shiranui and Yukikaze, though much weaker, only slightly above that of an ordinary person.
Without a doubt, this woman was either a member of the Anti-Demon Ninjas or a retired former operative.
The woman seemed to already know Shiranui and the others. Although she didn't speak when they entered, she nodded familiarly toward them, her gaze briefly lingering on Yukito.
Because of its hidden location, the dessert shop rarely received customers. Since Yukito had arrived alongside Shiranui and the others, he clearly wasn't an ordinary visitor.
Although she was curious why Shiranui Mizuki had brought a "normal person" who wasn't an Anti-Demon Ninja here, the woman chose not to ask any questions. After smiling and nodding in greeting, she returned to her own business.
Shiranui then led Yukito into the bakery room at the back of the shop. After carefully examining a section of the wall for a moment, a hidden passage suddenly appeared within the cramped space.
After entering the passage, Yukito discovered that it twisted and turned endlessly. Without a guide, he would almost certainly become lost.
He walked through the passage for more than ten minutes before finally reaching its end, where an elevator requiring identity verification awaited them.
After Shiranui completed the authentication process, the elevator activated.
Not long afterward, Yukito finally arrived at the Tokyo headquarters of the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization.
"Yukito-chan, come with me and meet Asagi first. As for Rinko and Yukikaze, you two can continue your regular training. There shouldn't be any missions scheduled for you today."
"After Yatsu Murasaki returned last night, she already reported your situation to Asagi. She probably won't object to your joining the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization."
Shiranui turned and spoke to Yukito as she guided him through the corridors of the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base.
The base appeared to cover a vast area, yet as Yukito followed behind her, he noticed there weren't actually many people present.
Excluding personnel responsible for logistics and medical services, the number of true Anti-Demon Ninjas—those who genuinely possessed demonic power or anti-demon factors within their bodies—seemed to be only around twenty to thirty.
Most of the Anti-Demon Ninjas in the base were in their teens or twenties.
Some looked pure and adorable, while others were charming and alluring. Their figures were also far more mature and voluptuous than those of ordinary girls their age.
Even though Yukito had seen plenty of beauties and had lived with Shiranui for so long that he had developed a certain resistance to attractive women, he still couldn't help but glance at them a few extra times.
Naturally, Shiranui, Akiyama Rinko, and Yukikaze were fully aware of Yukito secretly looking at the girls around him.
After all, such small actions couldn't be hidden from Anti-Demon Ninjas.
Shiranui Mizuki and Akiyama Rinko didn't pay much attention to it. Boys Yukito's age were naturally attracted to beautiful women with attractive figures. That was simply human nature.
Besides, both of them believed that, in terms of appearance and figure, they were certainly no worse than anyone else.
Only Yukikaze reacted differently.
After noticing Yukito occasionally sneaking glances at the girls around them, a trace of resentment flashed through her eyes.
Among everyone in the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Base, aside from a handful of male logistics staff, she couldn't find anyone with a more modest figure than herself.
Well... except for those girls who had awakened their powers at a very young age and had been sent here for Anti-Demon Ninja training while they were still in elementary school.
"Mom, I want to come with you too!"
"Onii-chan, if you really want to join the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization, then can I go on missions with you in the future? That way, Mom, who has already decided to retire, won't have to return to being an Anti-Demon Ninja."
Seeing that her mother was about to leave with Onii-chan, Yukikaze quickly stepped forward and tightly wrapped her arms around Yukito's arm as she spoke.
She wasn't worried that Asagi would refuse to let Yukito join the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization. Rather, she wanted to be the first person assigned as his partner once personnel adjustments were made after he joined.
"I brought Yukito-chan here today not only because Asagi wants to meet him, but also because we have other matters to take care of."
"And why are you trying to follow us? Instead of that, you should focus on training. With Yukito-chan's strength, you might end up being a burden if you become his partner!"
Shiranui Mizuki rolled her eyes at Yukikaze, who was clinging tightly to Yukito's arm. Despite Yukikaze being her daughter, she showed her no mercy.
She directly pulled Yukito's arm free from Yukikaze's embrace and led him toward Igawa Asagi, who was already waiting in her office.
Inside an office at the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization Headquarters, Yukito, who had been living in this world for ten years since his reincarnation, finally met the legendary strongest Anti-Demon Ninja and the current leader of the organization.
"So this is the Yukito Murasaki mentioned yesterday?"
"He really does possess an energy I've never encountered before. It's called Chakra, right...? A power created from the balanced fusion of spiritual energy and physical energy. But I doubt it's that simple."
Seated in her office, Igawa Asagi's long hair flowed over her shoulders as her gaze remained fixed on Yukito standing before her.
He wasn't sure whether it was just his imagination, but Yukito felt that, at that very moment, Asagi suddenly released a sharp and overwhelming aura that made the air around them feel heavy.
